I don't know how many of you watched Shane play Dennis last night in 14.1 as part of the Accu-Stats MIH all around, but I did and thought it was pretty interesting. I had never seen play 14.1 before so even though I know Shane is a superior talent I wasn't sure what to expect out of him in a foreign game. I was quite impressed. At the start of his match his patterns seemed a little erratic and he was going into the balls too much. Later he got more comfortable and hit a couple of true straight pool shots like softly bumping out a break ball and also playing the behind the rack breakshot with inside and going 3 rails around the stack. He may not be as big of an underdog in the straight pool as I thought. If he watched some more 14.1 Accu-Stats matches or studied a 14.1 book or 2 he'd be raining hundreds in no time. I'm just glad to see him playing the championship game like all the greats have at one time or another.

I'm currently watching Shane play Thorsten. Shane's patterns tonight...woof. He's such a good player though he's making tough outs.

ETA: Shane finally gambled too much and scratched off of a side pocket rebreak. Thorsten only needs 16 and the balls are open.

Once Shane gets a handle on how to play the patterns correctly there is no doubt he will be super dangerous in 14.1 also. Look how fast he learned 1 pkt!!
